Posted by Dbeasy,

FYI, for those excited about the Burnt Ends program and concerned that Texas needs to be doing more around NIL, there is an effort by several folks from Surly and elsewhere, (including Immamac, CTJ, myself, SydneyCarton, TreatyOak, Squishmitten, and RGBIII), to create a new company that fills the current holes in the Texas NIL plans. I post this here in addition to the NIL thread, which is members only. To move this forward, we need some crucial volunteer work for the next several months un

You’d think. I would be interested in hearing why the people that signed up for the $10 chose that instead of $25 and what would change their mind to up the tier. Extra swag?

For the people (myself not included since I’m poor) that want to drop like $10k could you consider something like an autographed Football from all the tight ends? Seems “market value” to me. 

I actually think autographed shit doesn’t have to be passed through compliance. I’ll ask but we could absolutely create a merchandise marketplace thing I bet. Would have to be individual though

Autographed football auctioned off to all Surly Horns NIL subscribers. Highest bidder wins and can drop fat stacks. With proceeds going directly tight end group evenly split

Snap! That is kind of like at the watermelon thump where you bid for a kid's watermelon but it is really to fund the FFA scholly fund. Some melons went for $2000 to $5000.

Could we do an auction for the most productive TE of the group? That kid, by his performance metrics wins the right to have his jersey auctioned and takes a bigger cut of that bidding or all of that proceeds.  And some lucky sob gets the autographed jersey to frame for their wall. That would be  fucking sweet. Someday, that kid will be NFL bound and that asshole has his Horns jersey. Or the kid will win best TE in college award and will be at an event to snap a pic with us in a  burnt fucking ends tshirt holding that trophy.

I don’t think we will be able to use jerseys and other stuff related to the team. So just a generic Nike football is most likely best case scenario. But yeah it’s like those 4h auctions at the county fairs. People bidding 10-11k over the value of the item because it’s value is based on the purchaser and what they deem it worth.  Would be an excellent skirt around the law and our compliance.

Autographs do not have to pass compliance.

None of the compensation can be Performance Based. So no “most productive” anything. No money for TDs. Nothing like that. Name, Image, and Like was only.

Not through burnt ends. But if this happens at the dinner after their appearance is satisfied who's to say that isn't just a convenient circumstance for memorabilia to be signed.

You should make a BIG visible Burnt Ends donate button link and put it permanently at the top of Surly. Alcohol + Football will make people either joyfully donate or rage donate during Football games. (I’m mainly referencing myself) 

Edit: just saw new page. Perfect. But maybe add a donate whatever amount you like button?

Sell raffle tickets for, say, $25 each. Then, have a drawing for autographed memorabilia or whatever. Only 1 prize per person. If somebody wants to drop $10k on raffle tickets to make sure they win a prize, who's going to complain?

As long as it’s passed through EQUALLY to the entire TE room. Otherwise I’d recommend memorabilia be signed individually and given to  individual players.

See above, yes.

I’ve got one kid at UT and one at Trinity. On kind of a tight budget now. I joined the $10 club but would probably buy a shirt or cup if that was an option and could help raise funds.

You would think so based on the Goldilocks rule, however, when I used to work on pricing I learned that unless you feature gate the hell out of the low end option it is going to be the most popular choice. We also found that the most expensive option was the second best performing because people with the means will default to that option because it's perceived to be the best. The middle option was always the worst performing slot by a fairly large margin.

I suggest as this grows to make the 10 dollar tier either position or sport specific and roll out a 50 and 100 option that give access to another position group or sport like volleyball or pom.
